I'm pretty sure the partitioning is correct, but I'll provide these
later, just in case. They looked pretty much like the examples in the
document, except for the sizes of the partitions. It's a pain to
reboot my laptop with the netbsd-live CD, and I am just on my way out
the door.
Is there a way to save the dmesg if the boot does not complete. I get
stuck at that "root device" prompt, and the only way out gives me a
hard reset, so everything is lost. I do not see any wd? messages in
the startup, though.

I'll try to download the CURRENt sets, but it'd be great if you could
set up an ftp with a known working set just as a control. Contact me
offlist if you like.
Btw, it's a Sandisk 512MB CF. Both the MSDOS and FFS partitions work
fine when the card is plugged into the i386 machine. The MSDOS
partition is perfectly accessible from WinCE. I'd hate to think this
is a hardware problem.
